Why ask lovers?

While feeling uncomfortable with the evil ritual of 'skinning', a question is deeply rooted in Audrey's heart. She subconsciously looked at the figure across the table, hoping to get an answer from Ember's mouth.

At this time, the 'world' had taken on the form of Bishop Miller whom he had met with the help of the 'Fool'.

When he saw the round bishop in a human skin robe, Ember pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"The Apostles of the Divine Skins usually recruit followers in remote mountain villages, and every once in a while they hold a grand festival. At the festival, the chosen 'dancing girls' skin all the villagers, both men and themselves. The 'high-quality leather' that has been peeled off will be used to make offerings to the apostles of the gods. ”

"The skinned men will be thrown into the fire, and the dancers will dance selflessly in the festival to please the godskin apostles. And these skinned villagers will be endowed with some twisted but powerful powers before they die. ”

"The bishop may have gained similar powers through rituals, but as far as I know, the rites of the Apostles of Godskin did not include the cutting off of heads and the sacrifice of flesh and blood."

Furth was a little panicked when he heard this, even if he didn't count the cutting of heads and flesh sacrifices, but just skinning was already terrifying!

Even just listening to Ember's narration, she felt a little numb in her scalp, why did there exist a cult organization with such a cruel ritual? Isn't Bansey Island the territory of the Storm Church? How did they manage to allow the cult to grow on their turf, and even lure a bishop of the Storm Church into depravity?

Audrey thought of a word for no reason:

Leather factory!

The 'Divine Skin Apostles' used the villages they ruled as leather factories, and the villagers who ruled were the raw materials for the leather!

Just imagining the cruelty of the sacrificial ritual and the horrors of those people being skinned made Audrey feel extremely uncomfortable. Although she has been exposed to a lot of intelligence about the extraordinary world, she has even experienced the 'Beckland Great Smog' event that nearly killed hundreds of thousands of people. But this barbaric, backward, and bloodthirsty sacrificial ritual was still beyond her comprehension!

'The Hanged Man' Alger pondered for a moment, then frowned and analyzed:

"The ritual of skinning and sacrificing flesh may have something to do with local customs, and the indigenous people of Bansey have a tradition of living sacrifices, and they once believed in an evil spirit called the god of weather. Of course, from now on, they may still believe in this demon. ”

"Overseas, in the Southern Continent, there are many similar evil spirits, which seem to have been eliminated on the surface, but in fact they are still alive in a strange state. Many people die violently in those places, hehe, not necessarily because of disease, if you have similar travel or adventure plans, don't be careless. ”

The 'Hanged Man' paused and wondered:

"It's just that I've never heard of the organization of the Divine Skin Emissary......"

The 'World' chuckled and said:

"I think so too, that bishop may have believed in the evil spirits worshiped by two cults at the same time, and creatively combined the sacrificial rituals of the two cults."

Audrey's expressions became a little subtle, and she believed in two different beings at the same time.

This seems to be a very appropriate way to describe them, after all, they each have their own gods and goddesses.

Audrey and Hugh believe in the goddess of the night, while the 'Hanged Man' is a follower of the Lord of the Storm, Emlyn believes in Lilith, the ancestor of the bloodline, Firth is a believer in the Lord of Steam, and even the little 'Sun' also believes in the 'Creator'. In a sense, they all fit the description of 'believing in two different beings at the same time'......

"No, it's different, at least the two gods I believe in are not evil gods, and they are different from the depraved who believe in two evil spirits and perform cruel sacrifice rituals.!" Audrey comforted herself in the bottom of her heart.

Alger, the 'Hanged Man', frowned, completely incomprehensible to what was happening on Bansey Island. As a pirate captain, he also frequented Bansey Island – a real patronage, not a loot. He was mainly there to make some additions, and as an 'official pirate', he also occasionally liaised with the island's churches.

For example, the three-meter-tall Bishop Miller in the picture of the 'world', dressed in a human skin robe, was also acquainted with Alger. But he never found any sign of Bishop Miller betraying the church and joining the cult.

It's not even an exaggeration to say that Alger felt that Bishop Miller's faith in the Lord of the Storm was much stronger than his own.

Why would such a person suddenly join a cult?

And, why Bansey Port? There has been no problem in Bansey Harbor for hundreds of years, why are there traces of those cults at this time? What's the connection behind this?

Alger tries to portray the events of Bansey Harbor as an accident that happened by chance and within the limits of understanding.

Suddenly, he heard a slightly muffled laugh.

This laughter comes from the top of the mottled table!

Mr. Fool turned his head abruptly ...... 'Hanged Man'.

Mr. Fool! Things in Bansey Harbor are not as simple as they seem! 'Justice' Audrey immediately looked at Mr. Fool sitting in a high-backed chair.

Seeing a series of doubts, curiosity or excitement at him, Klein smiled leisurely, with a bit of reminiscence:

"It reminds me of a king of angels."

"Medici, the founder of the Rose of Redemption, a descendant of his blood, dwells in Pency."

Redeem the Rose! The king of angels related to the true Creator? Audrey didn't expect things to get more serious layer by layer, and subconsciously wondered:

"Bincy?"

"That's the old name for Bansey." Alger, the 'hanged man', replied in a low voice, with his hands clenched.

"Almost."

Seeing that the success had aroused the interest of the others, Klein whispered to himself in his heart.

He didn't intend to continue, first, it was more in line with Mr. 'Fool''s character. The second is that he didn't know more information in the first place, and it was better not to say anything if he said more. Although Klein hated Riddlers like Russell the Great very much, he didn't mind being a wave of Riddlers once in a while, which was actually quite good.

Furth asked with some hesitation:

"So, that weather god is probably Medici?"

Bansey Island is a hermitage for the descendants of the Medici family, and it's hard not to associate the two with a 'god of weather'. Not only Firth, but most of the members of the Tarot Society have this speculation.

Ember pondered for a moment, shook his head lightly, and said:

"It's unlikely, Medici is already dead. Even if he survived as an evil spirit, he had only recently escaped from the predicament, and it was impossible for him to have anything to do with the god of weather who existed hundreds of years ago. ”

"Dead?"

The Tarot Society suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned.

A king of angels, a king of angels above Sequence 1, just died?

Almost all the others subconsciously looked at the first seat, trying to see how Mr. 'Fool' reacted. But what they didn't know was that Mr. Fool was now even more shocked than they were!

"Medici is dead? Or turned into an evil spirit? In other words, the evil spirit I encountered in the underground ruins is the Medici?! ”

Klein's heart suddenly stirred uproar, and he almost immediately affirmed Ember's statement as he searched for the answer:

The evil spirit died thousands of years ago, and for a thousand years it was trapped in the underground ruins.

But he has a blasphemy card made by Russell the Great more than a hundred years ago, and there is only one answer left to rule out the possibility that the evil spirit will go out to retrieve this blasphemy card:

Someone brought this blasphemy card to that underground ruin!

And why would anyone do that? Isn't this the effect of the law of extraordinary property aggregation?

The greater the 'mass', the stronger the suction!

Except for the true God, isn't the existence of the greatest 'quality' in this world Sequence 1?

And as a Sequence 1 King of Angels, it makes perfect sense to be able to attract a Red Priest card! And those extraordinary people who died in the underground ruins were undoubtedly attracted to the past under the effect of this aggregation effect......

No, it's not!

Now that Medici is dead, the one who killed Medici must have taken his share of the Sequence 1 Extraordinary Properties. In other words, the current Medici only have a Sequence 2 person at most.

Of course, even then he has enough 'quality' to attract those who are extraordinary in the middle and low ranks. And it is precisely because the other party is Medici himself that he is so familiar with those Misins related to Medici and the Rose of Redemption!

In order to hide the shock in his heart, and also to solve his doubts, Klein manipulated the 'world' and asked hoarsely:

"Mr. 'Lover', are you saying that the evil spirit of the underground ruins is Medici himself?"

Ember said calmly:

"It's just speculation, but it's very likely."

"Someone should have performed a god-orification ritual at that subterranean ruin, and that god-making ritual required the extraordinary properties of three copies of Sequence 1. So the ancestors of the Medici and Sauron families and the Einhorn family all fell victim to this ritual. Their Sequence 1 extraordinary properties were concocted into potions and consumed by the user during the rite of godhood. ”

"And their souls were left in the underground ruins and became evil spirits, and there should have been three evil spirits at the earliest. But they may have fought each other, and in the end, only Medici's evil was resilient. ”

"So the seal that imprisons the evil spirits in the underground ruins requires the bloodlines of the descendants of these three families to be unsealed?"

Klein immediately remembered the conditions and requirements of the evil spirit, and reason told him that Ember's guess was most likely the truth! But this truth not only failed to solve his confusion, but made him feel more and more incredible.

If someone actually killed Medici and the other two Angels of the 'Red Priests' path Sequence 1, who did it? If the other party really takes the potion and successfully completes the ritual, then the other party should have become the 'Red Priest' of Sequence 0 and become a 'True God'!

If so, then why do the seven gods exist today instead of the eight?

Unless the other party's godhood ritual was sabotaged, or someone killed him while taking the potion, and Klein's conjecture that he thought was the least likely but had been haunting him:

The other party has become a god, but in the end it has ended!

If it really involves the fall of the gods, then it must have left a strong mark in history!

As a history student, Klein immediately began to search for information in his mind, and almost instantly found the correspondence -

Tudor!

The underground ruins bear the coat of arms of the Tudor dynasty, which proves that it belongs to the Tudor dynasty.

And the ruler of the Tudor dynasty is the 'Emperor of Blood'!

"Could it be that the Blood Emperor designed to kill the three Red Priests who were Sequence 1 Extraordinaires, so that he could take the potion made by their Sequence 1 Extraordinary Properties and become a Sequence 0 True God?"

Obviously it was just a conjecture, but the more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely!

The Battle of the Four Emperors has left a strong mark in history, and if the Blood Emperor is a true god, will the other three emperors also be true gods?

According to the diary of Russell the Great, he learned some details of the Battle of the Four Emperors from Mr. Men:

"For example, the four emperors are the real black emperor who returned from the resurrection of the Solomon Empire, the half-mad blood emperor of the Tuduo dynasty, the night emperor of the Trenthorst Empire, and the Hades Emperor of the Southern Continent, which is commonly known as the god of death."

"Another example is that in the battle of the Four Emperors, the Black Emperor, the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor fell one after another, and the Hades Emperor grabbed the greatest benefit."

Mr. Azik's reply contained a similar account:

"I looked up at them, and was looked at by the Blood Emperor, and I lost consciousness.

"I should have participated in the battle of the Four Emperors to some extent, but the specific details still need to be recalled, maybe it is the trauma of that encounter,

It made me lose my memory again and again, keep dying and waking up again. ”

Even if Mr. Azik suffers a heavy blow, he will still be able to make Ince Zangwill, who has been promoted to Sequence 4 and has '0-08' in his hand, helpless, he was probably a Sequence 2 angel!

The only one who can smash an angel at a glance is the true God!

The Blood Emperor is a true god, and the other three in the Battle of the Four Emperors can be compared to him, it is impossible not to be a true god!

The Emperor of Hades, also known as the God of Death, is most likely a true god with a sequence of 0. The Black Emperor himself corresponds to sequence 0 of the 'Black Emperor' path, and it makes perfect sense that He is also a true God.

And the remaining Night Emperors are not true gods, how can they get the full help of the Blood Clan in the Battle of the Four Emperors?

You must know that the Blood Clan is a group of arrogant guys, after all, their ancestor is 'Lilith', one of the eight ancient gods, and only the true gods can make them bow down willingly!

And in the notes of the Abrahamic family, some details are also recorded in detail:

That is, the true god once personally went down to participate in this battle of the four gods!

And if the Battle of the Four Emperors is a battle of the true gods, then it is completely right!

Only the battle between the true gods can make the true gods themselves end!

Moreover, many details can also be determined from Mr. Azik's reply -

For example, 'the resurrected and returned true black emperor', and then 'the half-crazy blood emperor'.

Mr. Azik is not the kind of person who does not use words rigorously, even if he has a broken memory these days, but he does not make a mistake in the formulation of similar things.

The phrase 'the resurrected true Black Emperor' says it all, this is a true Black Emperor, the true god of Sequence 0! But why does Mr. Azik describe the Blood Emperor as 'almost irrational and on the verge of losing control'?
